The new Utah Career Center, located at 640 No. Billy Mitchell Road in the Salt Lake City International Center, was constructed as a joint effort of the United Association of Plumbers, Pipefitters, Welders and HVAC&R Service Technicians Local 140 and the Utah Mechanical Contractors Association. The building itself is a Gold LEED-certified facility and one of the most environmentally friendly structures in the state. The 33,000 square-foot, nearly $7-million building contains high efficiency heating and air conditioning systems, relies on natural light to brighten much of its interior and contains fly ash — a recyclable bi-product of coal — in its concrete floors.
In addition, the new career center will play in training the plumbers, pipefitters,welders and heating,air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration services technicians of the future. “We have state-of-the-art classrooms and hands-on training labs where our apprentices will be able to learn the skills they need to eventually become journeymen in the pipe trades,” Training Director, Dan Smith said.
